Abstract

This paper examines and analyzes how contemporary issues of benefits, organizational culture and collegiality affect organizational commitment among academicians in Pakistan.Recent changes in educational policies and privatization of tertiary institutions have led to robust competition between private and public sector universities; leading to brain drain issues of talented academicians.By considering challenges and changes in various aspects, public tertiary institutions in Pakistan have to devise policies and provide opportunities for career development of their academic staff to induce organizational commitment.Through this secondary research and highlights, it is hoped that those impacted tertiary institutions would be able to better understand factors affecting organizational commitment, devise initiatives and strategies, develop rules and policies in retaining their respective employees’ organizational commitment. This includes appreciating committed academicians on their task fulfillment and achievements.
